Today is the 300 anniversary of an immensely admired composer in the XVIII Century, Niccoló Jommelli, he fell out of fashion in the 19th Century, and he is still awaiting reevaluation, I am sure his time will come.
As an admirer of Charpentier I am delighted that you enjoyed listening to his music Mark. I have not heard that one but I am sure that Jordi Savall does great justice to M. Charpentier.markof wrote:

Superb musicianship and Mediterranean warmth, that´s what set the Quartetto Italiano apart.
